    The discount rate is assumed to be constant over the life of an investment; however, discount rates can change over time. For example, discount rates can change as the cost of capital changes.

    Calculating the discount rate: “Would you rather have $100 today or $110 in one month?” Your choice indicates your discount rate. If you choose $100 today, your discount rate is at least 10%. If you choose $110 in one month, your discount rate is less than 10%. Now how about “$100 today or $101 in one month?”

    The interest rates per period might not be the same. The cash flow must be discounted using the interest rate for the appropriate period: if the interest rate changes, the sum must be discounted to the period where the change occurs using the second interest rate, then discounted back to the present using the first interest rate.

    These indifferences reflect annual discount rates that declined from 277% to 139% to 63% as delays got longer. [6] This contrasts with exponential discounting, in which valuation falls by a constant factor per unit delay and the discount rate stays the same.
